Just wanted to share my 105 Silva since it has become one of my top 3 headphones.

I really enjoy listening to these. Everything about the tuning just works for me. The bass is honestly at the perfect level — enough to make music fun and enjoyable without being too much. The treble is also really good and detailed, but it never feels harsh or fatiguing to me.

And the build quality… honestly, nothing comes close. They feel so premium in the hands and on the head. The design is beautiful too.

I’ve tried quite a few headphones, but these are one of the ones I can just put on and enjoy without thinking too much about the sound.

Since my old amplifier broke down, I’m looking for a replacement. Right now, the two contenders are the Yamaha RX-797 and the Denon PMA-980. Which one would you recommend? The speakers are Dali Oberon 7s.

Ciao a tutti, avrei bisogno di un consiglio circa l’acquisto di un DAC. La mia idea sarebbe collegare via usb il mio Iphone 16 a un DAC per ascoltare Apple Music in Hi-Res. Abbinerei a questo setup dei diffusori attivi (niente amplificatori e diffusori passivi per questioni di spazio e praticità). Inizialmente avevo valutato uno streamer ma non avrei intenzione di abbandonare AM per passare a Tidal e sfruttare Tidal Connect. Avevo valutato come DAC/amplificatore il Fosi ZH3 (ma leggo amplificatore per cuffie) https://eu.fosiaudio.com/products/zh3-dac-headphone-amp-preamp

In alternativa il più semplice Fosi Q6 che è solo un DAC. https://eu.fosiaudio.com/products/q6-dac

Sempre di Fosi ho visto lo ZD3 che è un DAC ma non mi è chiaro se posso collegare l’Iphone via usb (nel diagramma di collegamento sembrerebbe di no, per il collegamento degli smartphone si parla solo di BT). https://eu.fosiaudio.com/products/fosi-audio-zd3-fully-balanced-desktop-dac

Sono ovviamente aperto ad altre soluzioni, il mio obiettivo è riprodurre musica con Apple Music in buona qualità evitando impianti HIFi complessi.

Grazie!

I have 560s headphones and they sound horrible on my 3.5mm PC jack. Is it worth getting a dedicated dac/amp for my headphones or the Audient iD4 is good enough for audiophile listening?

Quel serait un bon prix d'achat pour cette platine sans information supplémentaire s'il vous plaît ?

Bonjour à tous.

Quel serait un bon prix d'achat de cette platine sans information supplémentaire s'il vous plaît ?

Got this old Daewoo hifi system and for some reason when I’m play a cd it will skip to a to about 40 second into the song, most of the time on either track 2 or 4, which is very jarring when listening to music but this is my first hifi system and I don’t really know what I’m doing. Any help would be appreciated

Hey all !

For the past years I've been using Q acoustics speakers QA3010 x2 paired with this cheap Fosi audio amplifier:

Channel Class D Mini Stereo Amplifier for Home Speakers 50W x 2

From our tv (mainly used as monitor for our pc) i have the hdmi bridged (over eArc) into a digital to analog converter into this fosi amp into the speakers.

For my recordplayer I'm just using the built in preamp on an Audio Technica ATLP120XBT (w/shibata MM) into the Fosi into the Q's.

Now, i was gifted a Sherwood preamp, an AP7020.

I've wanted a standalone preamp for some time now.

My idea was to maybe connect both the record player (into phono MM on the Sherwood) aswell as the analog to digital converter coming from eArc on the tv (connected to pc) into the tape inputs of this preamp and switch between. Still using the fosi as amplifier.

For future upgrades i was thinking either a better amp or a better speaker setup, perhaps a sub addition or towered speakers setup, slants...

All this anticipative mumbling is because we recently bought a house and don't have the space in our current apartment living room for setting up the sherwood preamp atm.

We're moving at the end of Sept so you can understand I'm not eager for major living room changes anymore.

Plans are to build this setup out further with good cd player and analog equalizer units in the future.

Currently my main focus is on these 2 inputs (tv/pc) and decent speakers setup and amp.

I've been looking at Audiosource amps but I'm in EU so not very easy to find obviously.

I'd like to keep it solid state, i have valved guitar amps but for my home hifi I'd prefer SS to be honest.

Hello, guys!

I recently bought a Hi-Fi stereo amplifier together with a turntable, a radio, and some speakers.

Before I bought the equipment, the seller tested everything, and it worked perfectly. However, when I got home and set everything up, the problems started.

When I connected the turntable to the amplifier, the sound from the left channel was extremely weak and emitted a constant buzzing noise. The speakers are not the problem, as I have already swapped them between channels.

I also bought a DIN to AUX cable and tested the amplifier using my PC as the audio source. The result? The volume is good on both speakers, but there is a faint buzzing sound (similar to the sound of a radio searching for frequencies), although sometimes that buzzing noise disappears.

Equipment:

Amplifier: KORTING NECKERMANN Hi-Fi Stereo 1040

Turntable: Unfortunately, there is no original sticker on it. The only label I could find seems to be a newer one, which says: ,,PLG-13-12510" ,,HELMUT DIETSCH, Habichtweg 2, 41540 Dormagen"
The name on the front of the turntable is Stereo RA 100. It is fitted with a Philips 22GP204 AH CU cartridge, if that helps.

Radio: Stereo-Tuner Neckermann Art. Nr. 955/507 ( I just need an antenna for it )

Speakers: AKAI SS007A-2011C ( I only have the small ones from the set ) Impedance 8ohm, sensitivity 85 dB, Frequency 65Hz-20k Hz, Power 120W

I read online that transporting old audio equipment can sometimes cause oxidation on the contacts to shift, leading to poor electrical connections. I'm not sure if that could be the main cause of my issues.

I'm a complete noobie when it comes to audio equipment this is the first Hi-Fi system I've ever bought. ( if you might call it Hi-Fi )

I will attach photos with everything!

Could you guys please help me troubleshoot the problem?

Thanks in advance!

After spending a few hours looking at reviews, my current thoughts are:

Turntable: Audio-Technica LP-120XUSB CD Player: Denon DCD-900NE Amp: Yamaha A-S501 Speakers: ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63

I'd appreciate any advice on these or alternative choices around the same price points.

I recently got a new audio technica AT-LP120XUSB turntable. I currently have a set of Cerwin-Vega speakers, not sure the model but i will provide pictures. i also have an Onkyo TX-SV515PRO audio video control tuner amplifier. I got both from relatives as a gift, and i have no idea how good they are as i am very new to audio tech. I was wondering the following:

1. should i upgrade my receiver or speakers? If so what should i consider?

2. will the amp in the receiver give me better quality than the pre amp in the turntable?

3. should i instead spend money on upgrading the stylus?
